Mishcon Repute

Mishcon Repute is a range of services available to both individuals and corporate entities who would like to actively build, monitor or protect their reputations.

The reasons we provide these services:
Five modern developments in media communications create new challenges for those seeking to build, monitor or protect reputations.

The increased use of the internet as a source of information.

The proliferation of social media and blogs.

The public’s presumption that what is published is true no matter what the source.

A cultural shift that increasingly demands sensitive or scurrilous information about high profile figures and companies.

After recent scandals, the public now expects that the affairs of high profile people, brands and companies should be transparent.

Damage to reputations affects share prices, investment opportunities, product profitability, community standing and relationships. A reputation can be tarnished in a matter of hours. Irreversible damage may be the result.

Ensuring a public reputation that is both consistent and positive is no longer simple. Material published online, even if the original content is removed, will still be widely available due to republishing, as well as via websites that provide the content of deleted pages. Search engines can push false, negative or misleading material to the top of the search rankings. This creates an impression that the content is both true and important. Different audiences browsing the same information may in fact see different content. This can lead to varied impressions of an individual or a company.

We combine all the expertise required to effectively build, maintain and protect reputations. In addition to legal expertise, we have brand and communications experts as well as digital and business strategy consultants. We deliver modern solutions for a modern problem.
